## CLI (Command-Line Interface)

The [Paragraph CLI](https://paragraph.com/docs/development/cli) (`@paragraph-com/cli`) lets you manage posts, publications, subscribers, and coins from the terminal. Designed for both human and agent/programmatic usage. Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/paragraph-xyz/paragraph-cli).

### Install

```bash
npm install -g @paragraph-com/cli
```

Or via Homebrew: `brew tap paragraph-xyz/tap && brew install paragraph`

### Authentication

```bash
paragraph login --token <api-key>
echo "<api-key>" | paragraph login --with-token
PARAGRAPH_API_KEY=<api-key> paragraph post list
```

Get your API key from paragraph.com/settings -> Publication -> Developer.

### Key Commands

```bash
paragraph post list
paragraph post get <id-or-slug>
paragraph post create --title "Title" --file ./draft.md
paragraph post publish <id-or-slug>
paragraph post publish <id-or-slug> --newsletter
paragraph search post --query "topic"
paragraph subscriber list
paragraph coin get <id-or-address>
```

### Agent Usage

All commands support `--json` for structured output. Data goes to stdout, status messages to stderr.

```bash
paragraph --json post list | jq '.data[0].title'
paragraph --json post get <id> --field markdown > post.md
```

Set `CI=true` or `PARAGRAPH_NON_INTERACTIVE=1` to disable the interactive TUI. Destructive commands require `--yes` in non-TTY environments and support `--dry-run`.

Run `paragraph --help` for all commands.

### Agent Skills

Install the [Paragraph Agent Skills](https://github.com/paragraph-xyz/skill) to teach AI agents how to use the CLI, REST API, SDK, and MCP server:

```bash
npx skills add paragraph-xyz/skill
```

## MCP Server

The [Paragraph MCP server](https://paragraph.com/docs/development/mcp) connects AI agents directly to Paragraph via the [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io). Manage posts, publications, subscribers, coins, and more from any MCP-compatible client. Source: [GitHub](https://github.com/paragraph-xyz/paragraph-mcp).

### Remote server (recommended)

Use the hosted server at `mcp.paragraph.com` — no installation or API key management required. Authentication happens automatically through your Paragraph account in the browser.

Claude Code: `claude mcp add paragraph --transport http https://mcp.paragraph.com/mcp`

Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code: add to your MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paragraph": {
      "url": "https://mcp.paragraph.com/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

### Local server

Alternatively, run the server locally with npx (requires Node.js 18+):

```bash
npx @paragraph-com/mcp
```

Claude Code: `claude mcp add paragraph -- npx @paragraph-com/mcp`

Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code: add to your MCP config:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paragraph": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["@paragraph-com/mcp"],
      "env": { "PARAGRAPH_API_KEY": "your-key" }
    }
  }
}
```

For local usage, set `PARAGRAPH_API_KEY` as an environment variable or log in via the CLI (`npx @paragraph-com/cli login`). Read-only tools work without authentication.

### Available Toolsets

The server exposes 18 tools organized into toolsets: posts (create, update, delete, list, get, send test email), publications (get metadata), subscribers (list, count, add), users (get profile), coins (get metadata, list holders), search (posts, blogs, coins), feed (curated platform feed), and me (authenticated publication info).

Expose only the tools you need: `npx @paragraph-com/mcp --toolsets posts,search`
